We have looked at a number of different sweethear badges on the blog over the years, and most of those are from different army regiments.

The 1939 Army and Navy Stores Catalogue includes an 18 carat gold RAF brooch costing £2 6s, this example however is at the cheaper end of the market and probably cost a shilling or two. This little badge was found in a box at the market amongst a pile of costume jewellery and set me back the princely sum of £1.
